This month we want to challenge Neighbourhood Supporters to come together and give generously from the heart this holiday season. With so much going on this time of year itโ€™s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about others, especially those having a difficult time.

Whether itโ€™s an elderly neighbour who lives alone to a family on your street working hard to make ends meet, reach out to someone who could use a little extra joy in their life and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!

Other ideas include fundraising for a local charity, doing a food or toy drive, organising a โ€˜Secret Santaโ€™ gift exchange on your street, giving a present to a neighbour who helped to make your 2020 better, or even host a community Christmas lunch.

Let us know how youโ€™re giving back in your community in December by emailing: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
